March 23, 201610 yr I have been plagued by crashes every time I hit al+enter lately. I now found out that p3d crashes on me only when msaa is at 8x. Any thoughts/ideas on why this happens ? thanks

March 23, 201610 yr ..., also not experiencing it here. I would reset prepar3d.cfg (delete the file, it will be rebuild upon P3D startup) to exclude that file as cause. Although unlikely, have you tested your graphics card? Regards, Chris -- PC: Intel 13900K, Gigabyte Geforce RTX 4090, 64GB Fury Beast DDR5 RAM; Display: Varjo Aero VR

March 23, 201610 yr Author Not happening here. What NV and NI settings are you using? gb. NV: Single Display Performance Mode, Prefer maximum performance NI: Frame Rate Limiter: 30 ( i have unlimited, vsync and tb on in p3d) ..., also not experiencing it here. I would reset prepar3d.cfg (delete the file, it will be rebuild upon P3D startup) to exclude that file as cause. Although unlikely, have you tested your graphics card? Deleted prepar3d.cfg a few times already.No joy. What do you mean by testing my graphics card ? dxgi.dll or d3d9.dll in the Prepar3D folder? Does any specific error appear in the Event Viewer? No dxgi.dll or d3d9.dll in my p3d folder. I dont always get an error in the event viewer. Sometimes p3d just disappears (ctd)Some times al-enter crashes the drivers and then p3d just hangs. Msaa 2x or msaa4x seem to be the only cure.For now. Btw,my machine is a neanderthal by todays standards: i7-980x @4.2 and a gtx580 graphics card
March 23, 201610 yr You are probably seeing GPU memory exhaustion, what size of memory is your graphics card? I'm not sure if this would crash Prepar3D but it seems suspicious if certain AA settings reproduce crashes. LM recently revised the system requirements for V3 - the bare minimum is 1GB of GPU memory but they doubled the recommended requirements from 2GB to 4GB for V2 to V3. Given 8x MSAA is the highest setting it might be necessary to dial this down unfortunately whilst using intensive aircraft/scenery. Lawrence Ashworth
